Zeb the Duck Goes to Africa

Look at this!

Safari vehicle at Kiboko Town Hotel in Lilongwe, Malawi

I, Zeb the Duck, am in Africa with 6 human women. We are in Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi in southern Africa. Where, you may ask, is Malawi? Many humans ask, so here is a map of Africa showing Malawi in southern Africa.

Three humans and I take this taxi.

We arrive at Lilongwe Nature Sanctuary.

Let’s explore the Lilongwe Nature Sanctuary

This is a beautiful, peaceful place in Lilongwe between Old Town and Capital City. These sofas look inviting, but they are made of cement.

May not be too comfortable. They are made of cement

Heading down a trail, I, Zeb the Duck, am fascinated with the twisted trunk on this tree.

What are these hanging from a tree, over the river?

Nests of Weaver birds

The humans say they are nests of the Weaver Birds. The male Weaver bird builds the nest, and if the female does not like it, she will knock it down. Then the male has to build a new and better nest for her. I love this river.

Love a river

It was so pretty and rivers always sound soothing. We wander around the Lilongwe Nature Sanctuary for awhile, enjoying every moment. We decide to walk to the adjoining Lilongwe Wildlife Center. Crossing the river on the road, these monkeys entertained us.
